Carrie brings in the ratings. This is why they give her the awards. None cares about the Lord. That is why Her country single is out of the top 1500 on iTunes, why nobody is buying Her album, and why She wasn't invited to perform at the VMAs.
Her old tours had superstar guest performers like Usher, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj. Now She is having to slum it with people on Her current level, like Sara Bareilles and Cher Lloyd.
Only the BA and WANEGBT receipts are false. Red really has sold 6M WW. IFPI had it at 5.2M at the end of 2012 and since then it's sold another 700,00 in the US and another 200, 000 in the UK - that's 6.1M and that's not even including Australia, Japan etc. which I don't know the numbers for.
And I think she has sold 4M in the UK if you count both singles and albums.
Everyone else has moved onto Miley.
